1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – 1. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed project replaces historic-age windows that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Proposed window replacements at main and secondary elevations alter the window patterns, materials, opening sizes, and configurations. WINDOWS - The existing single-pane windows are a weak link in the building’s thermal envelope. Even with storm windows or weather-stripping, single panes cannot match the insulation of modern glazing. - The current windows are steel and single pane. The steel is corroded and cracked in all windows. - The glazing has deteriorated completely. The exposure to weather/rain/UV radiation gradually breaks down the glazing compounds leading to cracks, shrinkage, and loss of adhesion - The existing glass are cracked all in the same general areas. 1 CRACKINGSINGLE PANECRACKINGPULLING OFF THE FRAMING RUST AND CRACKINGON STEEL AND GLASS 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – - The expansion and contraction over time has led to the steel to pull away from the brick - Traditional glazing putty, often linseed oil-based, hardens and becomes brittle over time, making it prone to cracking and falling out. - Steel windows from the 1950s are extremely difficult to repair due to limited availability of materials and skilled labor. The cost of repair is prohibitive and exceeds the cost of replacement - The existing windows are sitting directly brick to window contact, no sheathing or insulation, as well as no - Rust and corrosion – As steel frames corrode, they expand, putting pressure on the glazing and causing it to fail flashing. or detach from the glass. 2 CRACKING, DIRECT BRICK TO WINDOW PLACEMENT , LEAKAGESTEEL HAS CRACKING, NO FLASHING, DIRECT WINDOW TO BRICK APPLICATION 1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – Aluminum Clad replacements The design standards documentation notes that simple measures like weather-stripping and window film are the first line of defense , and we have evaluated those. However, given the persistent energy loss and comfort issues, we are proposing to replace the single panes with insulated (double-glazed) glass units. - We also evaluated the weather stripping and film will not solve the issue of the incorrect construction application - Air leakage and thermal retention:Replacing with Sierra Pacific Wood Aluminum Clad windows will drastically reduce air leakage and heat transfer while preserving the historic frames’ appearance. Notably, the City’s guidelines even suggest retrofitting historic windows with insulated, low-E glass when …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 5, 2025 HR-2025-014398 HYDE PARK LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT 4105 AVENUE G 5.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Reconstruct the front elevation and construct a second-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Rebuild the original design of the front porch, including restoration of windows, siding, and porch finishes. 2) Replace deteriorated or missing siding on all elevations. 3) Construct a ground-floor addition at the rear right corner. 4) Construct a second-story addition, set back from the front of the original house. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS The house at 4105 Avenue G is a single-story Craftsman-style building with a wide, deep front porch that is supported at the corners by two ample posts clad in stucco. The porch and stair accessing it are both concrete in construction, likely a replacement or earlier wood systems. Two large front windows, which appear to be original, face the street at the back of the porch. Above, a front gable projects forward and features a wide attic window it its center, which also includes some decorative ends supporting the fascia. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.2: Retention of Historic Style Proposed design retains the original style and seeks to rehabilitate damaged elements, but only at historic locations. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism After taking consideration of guidance offered by ARC, the additions feature elements that are compatible is scale and design to the historic, but do not reach the level of replication or false historicism. A visual break in the form of a setback breaks up the roof slope at the front of the house. 1.4: Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures Intact historic material is proposed to be retained rather than replaced. Reconstructed elements, such as wood siding, is proposed to be from new material that generally matches size and dimensions of historic. 3. Residential Standards: Single Family and Contributing Multifamily – Preservation and Restoration 3.1 Front of Houses Historic approach and dimensions are to be retained; second-floor addition is proposed to be located over 15 feet from the front wall at the back of the porch. 3.5 Roofs The existing roof pitch is maintained, and a visual break between the original and the addition is clear and legible from the street. 3.6 Chimneys There is no …

Paul DeGroot, Architect 6202 Highland Hills Drive Austin, Texas 78731 Phone: 512 345 2228 To: Historic Landmark Commission & Architectural Review Committee Project: 4105 Avenue G Date: February 3, 2025 For your consideration we are submitting drawings that have been revised to according to the comments we received from the ARC in the January 15, 2025 meeting. The committee requests were as follows: 1. Differentiate the addition's exterior materials and features from those of the original historic home so that it is clear to distinguish what is existing and what is new. To accommodate this recommendation we have changed the window muntin patterns to a more modern design that is different from the original home, changed the siding material to modern Hardie plank lapped siding with vertical corner trim boards, and changed the roofing to standing seam metal instead of shingles like the original home's roof. 2. Preserve the original ridge line of the gable roof. To accommodate this we have kept the ridge where it exists today. All of the new second floor is located behind the original ridge. Thank you, Paul DeGroot, Architect Page 1 of 1

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 5, 2025 PR-2025-011991 BRUNSON HOUSE 200 THE CIRCLE 6.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear accessory structure. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE Construction of a rear building that includes the remodel of an existing detached garage and construction of an office/gym. Construction of a lap pool at rear of property. Additionally, some site grading and minor landscape work. Constructed in 1917, the Brunson House is an excellent example of the bungalow style in the Fairview Park neighborhood. The house is set at the highest point of the lot, with a steep slope leading from the street to the porch stairs. A front porch is supported by two brick columns holding up a curved gable projecting from a larger gable spanning the width of the house. There is decorative woodwork at both gables, and at the right of the building is a side porch. Windows and front door are all intact and in good condition. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location New construction is at the rearmost section of the property. Given the grade changes on site, it will not be visible from the street. 2. Orientation Along with the existing garage that is proposed to be placed in service, the addition will orient towards the front and rear of the property. The rear is accessed by a private drive at an adjacent property, so it is not expected to be a main entry to the site. 3. Scale, massing, and height New construction is one story in height. Though it, along with the original house, are located at the highest area of the lot, it is to be minimally visible due to it being behind the main house. 4. Proportions The floor-to-ceiling height of the single-story addition is taller than the original house, but not to a degree that creates a stark disparity between the two. 5. Design and style The new construction is proposed to be largely glazed. After some revisions, the building was simplified to eliminate some more decorative elements that may have detracted from the original house 6. Roofs A low-slope roof is proposed to reduce visibility of the new construction, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS /DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 5, 2025 PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 705 WEST LYNN STREET 8.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1895 house. ARCHITECTURE The house located at 705 West Lynn Street is a single-story, center passage house with a side gabled roof set at a moderate- to-high pitch. The single front door is centered on the house with one 2/2 window on either side. There is a front porch that extends across the entirety of the front façade, supported by four columns. Due to the elevation of the site, the porch sits nearly at grade towards the front of the lot, but at the rear of the property is a full height unconditioned crawlspace or basement. While the footprint of the building may read as a simple rectangular center hall design, the rear extends further back into the lot, including an enclosed porch. There is also a small frame shed on the site, which is also proposed to be demolished. The shed is not mentioned in the West Line National Register nomination. RESEARCH From its construction around 1895 until 1962, the property was owned by the Quick family. John Quick, a carpenter originally from Sweden, was the first listed owner, and later married a woman named Helen, who was also a first-generation Swedish immigrant. Newspaper records indicate that Helen’s sister immigrated to Texas around 1893, though it is unknown whether the sisters arrived together or separately. The Quicks were involved with the local Methodist Church, with the address on West Lynn hosting a circle of the Women’s Society of Christian Service. John Quick died of natural causes in 1945, and Helen occupied the house until her passing in 1962 at the age of 91. The house was left unoccupied for several years after, but by the 1970s, it was occupied by renters. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Line National Register district, and the nomination further lists the property as eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high-to-moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good …
